Do you know that the work you are performing may be regulated by the EPA since April 22nd, 2010? Do you know
that a violation of this new law can be up to $37,500 and imprisonment if you have not taken a class by December
31st, 2010? Are you aware that Federal law requires that any contractor renovating more than six square feet
of painted surfaces in a room for interior projects or more than twenty square feet of painted surfaces
for exterior projects or window replacement or demolition in housing (residence, apartments, and
condominium), child care facilities and schools built before 1978 must take and successfully complete
an approved eight hour EPA Certified Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) course? Also you may
not be aware that if these types of properties receive federal funding (i.e. Section 8) or are Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) properties, the laws are even more restrictive, disturbing less than two square
foot of painted surface in a room.There are excessive fines, civil penalties, and felony convictions associated
with this new regulation. Civil penalties of $37,500 per each violation will be issued and a potential
five year felony conviction may be imposed for non-compliance of this law of which the contractor cannot
go bankrupt from. This follows the EPA Consolidated Enforcement Response and Penalty Policy.
We are proud to announce that we are approved by the EPA to offer the eight hour certification course on
Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP Rule) that is required for pre-1978 work.
By taking this EPA certified course in XXXXXXXX on XX/XX/XX you will have a full understanding of lead
safe practices that are required in pre-1978 residences. At the successful completion of the course
exam you will receive your EPA recognized
lead RRP certification.

or, if you register by phone, mention that code to our Customer Service Representative. This code will
entitle you to a 10% discount off the cost of the course.
